Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 699 - 699 659 Fight to the Death_1

699: Chapter 659: Fight to the Death_1 699: Chapter 659: Fight to the Death_1 Zhan Tianheng and Zhan Tianyu stood still, both trapped in thought.

Clearly, they were not qualified to accept the duel on behalf of Lu Chuan.

If Lu Chuan had no desire to fight Guu Lie, then they would be overstepping their bounds.

Seeing the two in such a dilemma made Guu Lie even more infuriated.

“What do you two mean?

Can’t you make a decision?

Who exactly is that guy?

How dare he be so arrogant!”

Guu Lie roared angrily.

Next to him, Zhao Shengyang sneered, “Master, I’m afraid they don’t have the courage to accept this duel.

They’re scared of losing.”

At this, Gu Xiaosang stood up and scolded, “Scared of losing?

Don’t falsely accuse others.

Do you think we would be afraid of your master?

Ridiculous!”

Zhao Shengyang continued to smile and said, “If you’re not afraid, then come out and accept the challenge properly.

What’s the problem?”

“If you’re scared to death, then roll back home, pack your bags overnight, and then flee in disgrace.

If you’re lucky and we don’t catch you, you can consider it your good fortune.”

Gu Xiaosang clenched her fists in a rage, “You’re the one who should flee in disgrace!”

“Just a duel, right?

I accept!

Who’s afraid of you!”

Gu Xiaosang shouted loudly.

Hearing this, Zhao Shengyang revealed a smug smile.

“Master, it seems they have accepted the duel challenge.”

Guu Lie sneered slightly and nodded, “City Lord Yang, you can be our witness.

What time, what place, you be the judge and witness the outcome.”

Yang Jie heard this and nodded slightly, “No problem, how about tomorrow?

If everyone is available, come to the City Lord’s Mansion.

I’ll set up the fighting platform and personally judge.

How’s that?”

Guu Lie smiled faintly, “Naturally, I would respect the City Lord’s face, but whether that guy would respect it, I can’t say.”

Yang Jie looked at Gu Xiaosang and asked, “You just stood up to accept the duel on his behalf; you must have some relation with this man.

Given that, you can relay the message to him.

If he dares to accept the duel, I’ll still consider him to be a man.”

Gu Xiaosang said boastfully, “Of course he dares.

Tomorrow, right?

Just wait.

See how he’ll take care of you tomorrow!”

Guu Lie smiled triumphantly, “Well then, I’m quite looking forward to it.”

With that, he clenched his teeth and fists tightly, unable to restrain the anger in his heart.

Seeing this, Yang Jie immediately smiled with relief, “Since the issue is temporarily solved, let’s all return to our seats and continue to enjoy the dinner.”

“Everyone, forget about what just happened, and continue to eat, drink, and be merry.

Don’t take it too seriously.”

Guu Lie held back his anger and turned to return to his seat.

Zhao Shengyang approached Guu Lie and pulled up a chair to sit down.

“Master, what if that guy does not dare to come tomorrow?”

“What if that bastard runs away directly?

Where will we find him then?”

Guu Lie then took a deep drink, “No matter what, I’m set on taking that bastard’s life!”

“If he doesn’t die, I’ll have no face returning to the Sky Martial Sect, and I won’t be able to explain myself to the sect leader!”

“Anyway, I must kill him tomorrow.

If he doesn’t dare to show up, then I’ll go to the Zhan family to demand an explanation!”

Immediately after, Guu Lie looked at Zhao Shengyang and asked, “By the way, what was Elder Huang’s objective when he went to Flower City?”

“It was to take back the Divine Tree branch, wasn’t it?

Have you forgotten?”

“Of course I know that, but who was it supposed to be taken back from?”

Zhao Shengyang pondered for a moment, then said, “It seems…

the person was called Lu Chuan.”

Upon hearing this, Guu Lie immediately furrowed his brows, sinking into deep thought.

“Lu Chuan…

we’ve just heard this name recently, wasn’t he the one with a bounty on his head by the Lu Manor?”

“Could it be that the bastard who fooled me is Lu Chuan himself?

It was him who killed Elder Huang!”

Zhao Shengyang suddenly had a realization, “Master, now that you mention it, it seems quite possible indeed.”

“That bastard, he must be Lu Chuan!”

“Master, what should we do?

Will this guy be tough to deal with?”

“Heh, he’s just a minor thorn in my side; I have ways to deal with him.”

“We shouldn’t spread the word about this.

Once I take down that kid, not only can we get the Divine Tree branch back, but we can also hand him over to the Lu family.

It’s killing two birds with one stone.”

He revealed a smug smile.

If he could defeat Lu Chuan, then the loss brought to the Sky Martial Sect by Huang Yueqing’s death could be completely compensated for.

The banquet resumed as normal.

Although the atmosphere had warmed up again, if one listened carefully, they would hear that their conversations were all about the recent commotion.

Zhan Tianyu looked at Gu Xiaosang and asked, “Why did you agree on Lu Chuan’s behalf?

What if he doesn’t want to come?”

“How could he not come?

He’s not afraid of Guu Lie at all.”

Gu Xiaosang said proudly, as she had great faith in Lu Chuan’s strength, which is why she had unhesitatingly agreed on his behalf.

Zhan Tianheng sighed helplessly, “Ah, the troubles our Zhan family encounters just keep mounting.”

Gu Xiaosang retorted, “Is trouble all you see?

Lu Chuan brother just brought your father back from the brink of death.”

Zhan Tianheng nodded slightly, “True, for that, I will certainly do Lu Chuan a big favor.

You didn’t have to agree to a duel on his behalf.

Just let Guu Lie be, I don’t believe he would dare to make a move against our Zhan family.”

Gu Xiaosang shrugged helplessly, “I’ve already agreed, is there a pill for regret?

Since it’s like this, we might as well trust Lu Chuan.”

The banquet ended shortly afterwards.

The crowd dispersed, and groups of people left one after the other, mostly discussing the same thing: the murder of the Sky Martial Sect’s Third Elder.

Zhan Tianheng and Zhan Tianyu, along with others, went back to the Zhan family.

After returning to the mansion, Gu Xiaosang quickly sought out Lu Chuan.

Lu Chuan was having dinner in the courtyard.

Seeing Gu Xiaosang hurriedly running in, he asked, “Why are you running in such a hurry?”

Gu Xiaosang ran up to Lu Chuan and sat down on a stone chair, panting for a while before standing up again and walking towards Lu Chuan.

“Do you know?

During the banquet, that Zhao Shengyang showed up!”

“He found body fragments and knew Huang Yueqing died there.”

“Once Guu Lie knew, he immediately labeled you as the murderer and threatened to trouble the Zhan family.”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “Go on.”

“Then, surely the Sky Martial Sect won’t fully engage in battle with the Zhan family, as the difference in strength between them is not huge.

For the Sky Martial Sect to forcefully take down the Zhan family, they’d definitely suffer heavy losses.”

“So, the result is, you two have arranged a duel to settle this dispute.”

Lu Chuan frowned slightly, “A duel?

With that Guu Lie?”

“Exactly, he wants to fight you!

You…

you’re not going to chicken out, are you?”

Gu Xiaosang looked at Lu Chuan with some concern.

Lu Chuan immediately retorted, “Of course not, you must have agreed, right?”

Gu Xiaosang laughed awkwardly, “I…

of course, I agreed.

If you had been there, you would have agreed too, right?”

She looked at Lu Chuan nervously, fearful that he might get angry at her for her actions.
